Charles & Ray Eames Charles and Ray Eames are counted among the most important fi gures of twentieth-century design. Their work spans the fi elds of furniture design, fi lmmaking, photography and exhibition design. Vitra is the sole authorised manufacturer of Eames products for

Europe and the Middle East. When you own an Eames product made by Vitra, you know it is an original.

The Eames Plastic Chairs are renewed versions of the legendary Fiberglass Chair. As the very fi rst industrially produced plastic chair, it was originally developed by the Eameses in collaboration with Zenith Plastics for the 'Low-Cost Furniture Design' competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art. In the current versions made of polypropylene, these chairs provide even greater comfort.

The wide selection of bases makes it possible to use the chairs in a variety of settings: from the dining room or home offi ce to the garden. Diff erent colours and upholstery versions provide many options for combining individual chairs to meet various needs.

Cover fabricsTo care for cover fabrics, vacuum regularly with an upholstery nozzle to remove dust and lint. Fresh spots and spills can usually be removed by blotting immediately with an absorbent, lint-free sponge or cloth. To prevent remaining traces of a ring mark, work from the edge of the spot towards the centre.To avoid mineral residue from remaining on dark fabrics after drying, we recommend the use of household-grade distilled water for dampening. Stubborn stains can be treated by brushing dry stains lightly with a soft brush (for example, a clothes brush). Depending on the type of stain, the use of solvents may be necessary. In such cases, it is essential to consult a professional cleaner. Under no circumstances should cover fabrics be rubbed vigorously. Please be sure to consult a specialist before using any solvent-based cleaning product.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

PlasticsVitra plastics are very robust, with excellent shape retention and colourfastness, making them resistant to a variety of chemicals and other substances. Furthermore, special additives retard the fading of colours due to UV radiation. However, the exposure of a chair to sunlight for prolonged periods may cause the colour to change over time. For this reason, limited exposure to sunlight is advisable. Please use a soft, damp, non-abrasive cloth to clean plastic surfaces and dry gently. For stain removal, we recom-mend the use of a mild, commercially available cleaning agent. Always avoid abrasive cleaning agents including powders and pastes as well as aggressive 'all-purpose' cleaners containing alcohol, which will damage the surface.
